1000 SHOTS AT A CRAZY MAN.
Found Safe After Long Attack by a
Company of Mexican Soldiers.
From The NetU YORK Star.

From the NetC York Star.
Ell PAso, TEX, Oct. 5-News has reached
here of an ARRAY ten days ago at the Planchas
de Platamine, near Sabanet, State of Chihua-
hua. Mexico. An Irish miner named John Lloyd
became crazed from a prolonged spree, and
conceived the notion that the Mexicans wanted
to kill him. He procured a Winchester rifle, and
told a German teamster named Weiner that he
was going to guard against bis expected assail
ants. Weiner told Mexican foreman named
Rodriguez what Lloyd had said Rodriguez
went TO pacify Lloyd, whereupon the
latter threw up his rifle and shot Rod
riguez dead. Weiner got rife and tried to
shoot the Infatuated man, but while he was
manoeuvring for q sure aim, Lloyd got chance
and shot him through the thigh. Lloyd then
took refuge in the office of the superintendent,
who was away, and babe defiance to the camp.
courier was dispatched to a Mexican mill
tary camp few miles away for a detachment
of soldiers. When they arrived, they dispersed
themselves among the rocks and opened fire
upon Lloyd's fortress. Lloyd replied for time,
and then became silent. After firing a thou
sand shots the soldiers charged the building and
found Lloyd hidden among lot of boxes I'M
harmed. He was taken to Casa Grandes.

The New NAVY.

The United States for some years has had
practically no navy. During the same
years our commercial marine has steadily
declined, and with it the probability of any
urgent need of fighting ships to inspire re-
spect in remote quarters of the globe where
trading ships are apt to create trading sta
tions of the nationality to which they be-
long. The business of the Pacific archi-
pelagoes, China, Japan, etc, of which
American merchants once had large share,
is now mostly in the hands of Englishmen
and Germans
The argument for the necessity of a
powerful navy, therefore, may be said to
rest entirely on the idea that such force is
essential to the maintenance by our gov
eminent in its relations with other powers
Of the position to which its Importance en-
titles it, and to the safety of our seaport
cities from sudden attack by sea. These
objects justify the large expenditure
authorized within the last two years by
Congress, and will cause the report of Secre-
tary Whitney to be looked forward to with
much more than ordinary interest. The
money which has been placed at his disposal,
increased by each session of Congress, evil
denoes the confidence inspired by the clean
and energetic administration of his depart
ment: THE closing session of the Forty
eighth Congress appropriated $1,000, 900 for
cruisers and gunboats; the first session of
the FOrty-ninth appropriated $1,000 900 for
two iron-clads and 1,500,0 900 for large I'M
armored cruiser, and increased the
amount for the Newark from S1,10O,-
900 TO 100000; also s., 100000 to
complete the monitors, exclusive
of armament; also S35O,OOO for a
dynamite cruiser and 100000 for first
class torpedo boat. The last session of the
Forty ninth Congress appropriated $780,
600 for two nineteen-knot cruisers and two
LOO ton gunboats; $4,000, 900 toward the
armament of all the authorized ships, So, 0O0, =
600 for armor and S2000,00 for coast de
Tense as above set forth. The grand total up
to March 4 last was S27 300 900 in two years
administration. This is nearly $13 $3.50, 600 a
year, or nearly equal to the largest amount
appropriated for new construction during
any single year of the civil war;
When Mr. Whitney took charge of the
Navy Department not a single ship con-
structed on modern principles and belong
ing to the United States was ahoat He be-
gan at the beginning to create a new navy.
Three new cruisers of moderate size and a
dispatch boat were on the stocks, but either
the work on them or their plan was. so de-
fective as to cause long delay. Even yet
two of the cruisers are unfinished, and the
one i'll commission is the subject of expert
ments to render her fit for real service.
Congress should adopt some definite plan
relative to the strength to which the new
navy is to be raised and pursue it steadily
until it is carried out, approprlating money
to the purpose as fast as it can be economi.
cally used. 1t is fair to infer from the
liberality recently displayed toward the
navy that the money will be given, and
Secretary Whitney's report ought to help
in maturing the plan

Ohio POlitica-

The Cincinnati Enquirer is making some
revelations which, perhaps, explain Gov.
Foraker's desperate efforts TO make the
campaign in Ohio turn entirely on the is
sues of the war 1t has sent reporter to
Akron to investigate the lease of some of
the States canal property in that city and
what he found out is interesting to say the
least A few words are sufficient TO give
the gist Of the transaction, the parties TO
which were Gov. Foraker and Mr.
Flickinger, who has charge of public
works on the part of the State, and
one Andrew jackson. In almost the
centre of the business portion of Akron
is what is known as the Lower Basin, a
piece of property owned by the State, but
not now used by the canal. This large
space, of course very valuable, was leased
to Jackson for thirty years at the nominal
rental of 500 year, and this, it is alleged,
in spite Of a plain prohibition of the statute.
The ice off the basin had been sold every
year for 500, the sum for which the prop
erty was leased to jackson Before the
trade with jackson was consummated, an
other citizen, hearing Of the proposed terms,
$4,000 cash, and the same annual rent
His offer was refused The real value of
the property is shown by the fact that, after
a few thousand dollars had been spent in
improvements, when a railroad company
wished TO suitcase a small part
of it Jackson demanded $1,000 for
that part. and leading business men
called as witnesses in proceedings to
condemn the property for the use of the
road fixed its value at from $1,000 to
$4,000 The portion wanted by the road
was only one-twentieth of the six acres, and
shows that the whole is worth from $240, 900
to $3.50, 600
MIR. jackson made sucE very good trade
that there is room for suspicion that some
body else proited by it as well as himself.
Such transaction could not fail to be EN-
barTassing to the Republicans, who were
responsible for it, in a campaign fought on
State issues, and Foraker has evidently
sought to hide it, and possibly others of the
same sort, by stirring up the ashes of the
burned-out hate of twenty-five years
ago He abused the privileges of
a guest at Wheeling, insulted and bullied
the President in the flag matter, and went
home from Philadelphia glorying in an al
legged slight put upon him by a woman,
which would have shamed man of finer
feeling. All this was done because he was
anxious to put the Democratic administra-
ton in an attitude of hostility to the pa
triotic memories of the war, and to himself
as their special representative Such an at
tempt was not honest but was mere trick
to divert attention from the real questions
on which the election in Ohio should turn
The Democrats are conducting an aggres-
sive campaign on State issues, and if the dis
closures made by the Enquirer can be sub
stantiated, there ought to be no doubt of the
success of their ticket, in spite of the fact
that Ohio is naturally a Republican State.

A fine glass vase, just discovered in an
Etruscan tomb at Bologna, is of a sea-green
color, like a soda water bottle, thick and of
a unique form, with two handles. 1t is nine
inches high and without ornamentation.
There is not single defect, flaw, crack or
chip about it. With it was found an ivory
chair, made after the fashion of modern
camp stool, having all its screws and rivets
still in perfect condition, and a small casket
containing beads and some very elegant
articles in bronze. The articles are sup
posed to date from the fifth century. The
tomb in which they were found was closed
at the top by an enormous globular mass of
stone as fresh as if it had only been fashion

A marble tablet recently found in an
ancient sepulchre on the Via Portuensis,
Rome, is apparently work of the first cen
tnry. 1t represents a naked youth, with
long, dishevelled hair, defending himself
against two women, one facing him and the
other attacking him from behind The
women brandish thyrse resembling lances
in one hand, and serpent winds itself
around the other arm of each, and they
seem as if about to fling them at the face of
the youth. Archeologists are puzzled to

A Sharp-Witted Doctor.

A story is told of two doctors up town who
had a long convivial seance at a saloon the other
night. They live door or two apart, and one
started for home ahead of the other. Unfortu-
will, and while he was struggling with Il he fell
asleep the doorstep. His friend, the other
doctor, followed in few minutes. and seeing
the plight of his friend, and also that his own
wife was waiting up for him on his stoop he
said to her: I've been kept up very late on a
surgery case and l consider II very fortunate
for there is poor DR.. Dash, whom ! must assist
into his house for sake Of the dignity of the pro
fession" This falsiiier now not only receives
the thanks of the unsuspecting friend, but
laughs in his sleeve at his own duplicitY.

English holders of the disputed title to a
large tract of railroad lands in that State
are putting settlers out of their houses by
force. Some families have been obliged to
spend the night in the road. These English

property settled before they put in practice
the odious system to which they are used in
Ireland. They may suddenly find them
selves without any land.

The enemies of the President have been
at their wits end to find something in his
speeches or conduct during his present
Western tour which they could attack. The
worst they could do was to charge that he
acquired knowledge of certain facts in re-
gard to cities he has visited from an eney-
clopedia, and that his speeches were printed
at the Government Printing Office before
his departure from Washington. The first
charge is not worthy of an answer, and
Public Printer Benedict says that the other
is false. The people will understand that
such silly stories are put aaoat because the
Presidents course has been so frank and
consistent that it has left his enemies no
openings for attacks of serious character.

The New York Tribune thinks large
part of the surplus just paid out by the
Treasury in the purchase of bonds was accu-
mulated because there is systematic under
valuation of certain goods at the New York
custom house, so that importations were
possible under tariff rate which would
otherwise have been prohibtory. Admit
ting that the charge of differentiation is
true, though it may not be, the T,ibune's
argument would mean that had the law
been properly enforced the money which
went TO pay the national debt would have
gone into the pockets of few monopolists.
People in general will think the proper dis
position has been made of it.

Hon. Thomas Osborne, of the Pennsyl-

staff, and who stands high in the councils of
the Republican party, was recently turned
out of a post office which he has held for
twelve years. 1t was then discovered that
by fraudulent reports of the cancellation of
stamps he had caused his salary to be raised
from $500 to $500. II would do no harm to
